Light, power and a fridge :-D hmmm


Next step is to drain the oil out, split the gearbox off, get it on a stand and start stripping the head and block e.t.c Then it'l be getting a good inspection and then once decisions have been made, off to have some machining work done :-D

It's not on par with chris's monster unit, but it's not a bad little workshop really !

Looks good mate. I bet you can't wait to get it fitted in the nova at last abit of power :lol:
How much you pay for it? if u dont mind me asking.

[Nick]

not much at all, riggy gave us a fantastic deal, chucked some extra bits n bobs in with it too... i've yet to have a really good look at it.

We collected a 1.2Spi for his corsa on the way to pick this up as a favour

[Mike.]

great workshop nick lol

you got most of the parts then :?:

[Nick]

erm i need to go collect the Cam kit i've got, apart from that there's not much else to get.

There's a custom exhaust being knocked up at the moment too...

[Riggy]

lol looks nice with them 40s on it nick lad

hope all goes well for you

[Nick]

let's wait and see what toll seans lead right foot had on it.

[SKoob]

look like very clean 40s there :wink: :lol:

[Nick]

yerp, can't quite remember the name of the chap i bought them off..... ?

[SKoob]

i'm sure he was an honest chap :lol:

[Chris]

Nice workshop

[srs1]

i didn't give that engine half as much abuse as the one burgo has.
but i'll be honest.
that one ran nice and smooth, i personally thought it didn't come close to the gte engine burgo got. but it was smoother.
the block burgo got was hard as nails. picked up the power all the time.

the gsi engine, got there eventually.
but asd engines were the same. i would expect there was a small floor in the injection.
so i would say your on for a good runner, considering it only ran under 90k miles

[J4MES]

progress looks good....also nice looking shed!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[General Baxter]

look at you with electric in your shed :lol:

and a fridge :o :drinking:

[Nick]

no worries sean, as it's not in a car then things like rings, valves e.t.c can be replaced for a minimal cost. It'l get a full rebuild anyway, so im not fussed. As log as there arent any holes anywhere ! lol

Did your GSi have an E16SE in it then ?
